Labour know if they can't win, they'd rather Reform win. Why? Because they'd rather have the odious Goodwin in WM than a sharp, articulate working class woman like Hannah Spencer. Hannah reminds them of what they once were - the voice of the working class. That voice has been silenced by Starmer.

WHY is this government content to leave private renters stuck in homes not fit for habitation for another DECADE? The state of private rented homes is appalling. Renters deserve better than this disappointment from Labour. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/j...

Decent homes standard for UK private renters delayed by government until 2035
Campaigners pushing for 2030 deadline said deferral was ‘denying renters the most basic standards in our homes’

Labour’s own MPs are saying they’ve lost this by-election. The bookies have Greens as favourites. We’ve seen this situation play out before in the Caerphilly by-election. Greens are throwing kitchen sink at this campaign and offering real hope. So many reasons to think this is Green vs Reform.

The Labour MP Gordon McKee has tried to explain economics using biscuits. Nice try, but he’d have made more sense if he just ate them. He ends up waving a credit card around, claiming we’ve borrowed too much from lenders who are charging us too high a rate! Crumbs! Neoliberalism in biscuits!

So much for the Labour gov’s claim it will build 1.5 million homes. They are stuck in the same economic framework as the conservatives and lib dems, none of who can see the wood for the trees. We don’t need a market led building disaster, we need a gov financed social homes programme.
